"What's the best way to prepare your home and lifestyle for the change of seasons?"
Right, mate. First, nail all your windows shut in autumn so the cold can't sneak in sideways. Second, switch to eating only foods that match the season, so winter means nothing but ice cubes and sadness. Third, adopt a hibernating bear as a flatmate for authenticity. Finally, rearrange your furniture every solstice or the earth will spin backwards and you'll age in reverse.
